COMPASS Silos to Synergy Resilience
From Silos to Synergy offers UTRGV researchers an opportunity to look beyond typical university structure and learn about research and collaborative opportunities across disciplines. Connect your passion and expertise with other researchers and look for opportunities to learn from and engage with Faculty Research Fellows. The interdisciplinary theme of the November 7th event is Resilience. This event will feature brief presentations on Resilience by UTRGV researchers, highlighting topics within the seven research pathways, with ample time for networking. Light refreshments will be served.
Write-Ins for Faculty Grant Development
We are offering dedicated “Write-In” sessions designed to provide faculty with uninterrupted time and a supportive environment to focus on writing and implementing their grant proposals. During these sessions, participating faculty will have access to specialized staff with expertise in writing and grant development, available to offer guidance, feedback, and technical support.
New Investigator Series
This comprehensive, cohort-based workshop is specifically designed for research-appointed faculty, including tenure and tenure-track. Delivered through a virtual E-learning platform hosted on Brightspace, the series provides a structured pathway for securing external research funding. Participants will be guided through the entire proposal development process, from identifying appropriate funding opportunities to preparing and submitting a complete and competitive proposal.
